Whether or not vertically-challenged females should don stiletto heels in order to ensnare potential mates, heels with the potential to spear cocktail olives do have the potential to make the person wearing them feel attractive. Are the piercing podiatric pulsations are worth it? You've endured the anguish of orthodontic appliances for your beautiful smile. Think of stiletto heels as braces for your feet...
...power failure fit right in with the pre-Halloween atmosphere, as did the nonfunctioning public address system and the several ceiling tiles above the Harvard Band that fell out of place. Add to that a spear by UNB's Wade Simpson on senior Steve Martins and a boxing exhibition provided by Dan Sherstenka on Harvard sophomore Joe Craigen (Craigen somehow got the same four minutes in penalties as Sherstenka), and one could say the game was a wee bit atypical...

Only with these new tools, like the bow and arrow and the spear thrower, could our ancestors begin to mimic the speed and sharpness of a big cat's claws. Even so, predator animals remained a major threat. As late as the 7th century B.C., a stela erected by the Assyrian King Assurbanipal recounts the ferocity of the lions and tigers after torrential rains had flushed them out of their lairs; the great King, of course, stamped out the beasts...
